A small group of Chinese Red Guards shout slogans while parading with portraits of Mao Zedong, Chinese communist party leader and President of the Republic, 21 January 1967 in downtown Beijing, during the 'great proletarian cultural revolution'. Their aim was to arouse townspeople and villagers to recapture the victorious 1949 revolutionary zeal, and ferret out those who have departed from Mao's ideals.
